Sailor Gene might have a nautical-inspired name, but his preferred method of transportation is on land.

To mark Liv Tyler‘s younger son turning 3 on Sunday, the actress shared her wishes for him on social media — plus a peek at his sweet party.

Sailor is obviously a big fan of the Little Blue Truck board book, as evidenced by his cake. The intricately decorated two-tier confection featured farm animals and was topped with the story’s titular character, plus a stop sign bearing the number “3” and letters spelling out Sailor.

It’s been over a decade since Kate Winslet and Jude Law costarred as brother and sister in The Holiday, but that doesn’t make their Christmas time reunion any less magical.

The actors attended a screening of her new film Wonder Wheel at The Soho Hotel in London, England, on Monday, sparking memories of the beloved romantic comedy about two women from opposite sites of the Atlantic Ocean who swap houses over the Christmas season, only to each find love.

Winslet and Law, who also appeared together in 2011’s Contagion, posed for photos with director and producer Stephen Daldry,

This World Heart Day, the British Heart Foundation has teamed up with world renowned photographer Rankin to launch an international art project with creatives from around the world, to raise awareness of the global fight against heart disease.

‘Heart for a Heart’ has seen celebrated artists, celebrities, photographers, and brands from around the world unite against heart disease by creating unique heart-themed artwork and uploading them to social media in celebration of World Heart Day.

The social media movement aims to raise awareness of heart and circulatory disease – the leading cause of death worldwide. In the UK alone, nearly 160,000 lives are lost to these devastating conditions each year, one every three minutes. Globally it causes an estimated 17.7 million deaths a year.

Neil Calloway looks at a new tool that explores the facts and figures of UK film…

This week the British Film Institute released a rather nice online tool that will surely keep you entertained for hours now the nights are drawing in. Or you could use it like I do to confirm all your prejudices about the film industry in the UK.

BFI Filmography combines more than a century (it goes back all the way to 1911) of cinema stats with some smart visualisations and surprising facts. It’s a nice way to see the changing faces of British film. For many of us the 90s don’t seem that far away, but when you realise that the most prolific actors in British film during that decade were Sadie Frost and Keith Allen – when did you last see either of them in a movie? – it seems like another era. Did they

Today the BFI introduced the BFI Filmography, a complete, living record of all the 10,000-and-counting UK films released since 1911. While the resource is, as the BFI describes, “a treasure trove of new information,” it is also a revealing account of the pronounced gender inequality present in UK movies, both on and offscreen.

Among other issues, the filmography is plagued with gender stereotypes. The BFI found that the four character types women are most likely to portray are prostitutes, housekeepers, nurses, and receptionists. Of course, that’s when women are onscreen at all. As the filmography shows, the past century hasn’t featured much change in opportunity for female actors: women comprised 31 percent of film casts in 1913 and, so far, represent 30 percent of the casts in 2017.

Overall, female actors tend to work less than their male counterparts. For example, the most prolific male actor working today is Michael Caine, who has made 70 films to date. The most prolific actress still working is Judi Dench, who has made 41 films.

As for women in behind-the-scenes roles, the BFI Filmography includes only 23 projects with a majority-female crew, which amounts to about one percent. Just seven percent of the films made since 2000 were made by a majority-female crew. As one would expect, the number of women working on film crews has increased over the past 100 years — but the rate of change is still frustratingly slow. Women accounted for three percent of film crews in 1913, and by the early 2000s that number had grown to 27 percent. Women comprise 34 percent of this year’s film crews.

Women helmed only 4.5 percent of the BFI filmography and, like their onscreen counterparts, female directors tend to work much less than men. With 13 movies, Muriel Box (“Rattle of a Simple Man,” “The Piper’s Tune”) is the filmography’s most prolific female director. Maurice Elvey (“The Suicide Club,” “Love in a Wood”) is the most prolific male director with 151 films. That’s right: Elvey made over 11 times as many films as Box.

Director of Photography is the crew role that features the largest gender gap. Women DoPs have shot just 1.3 percent of UK films. With eight films, Nina Kellgren (“Young Soul Rebels”) is the female DoP with the most work experience.

The gender disparity of the BFI Filmography is disheartening of course, but it could also be a springboard for reform in the UK film industry — and not just for women’s representation. The lack of racial diversity in UK movies is also startling: 59 percent of the last decade’s films featured no black actors. As the BFI stated: “Whilst the BFI Filmography launches with a detailed look at gender, it is the intention to continue to build on the data, to provide a greater understanding of representation on and off screen.” Here’s hoping that studios really consider the BFI Filmography and decide that the next 100 years of cinema will be a better, more inclusive place.

Some additional stats from the filmography are below, courtesy of the BFI. Go to the BFI Filmography website to look through the new resource and find out more.

Newly Launched BFI Filmography Reveals Stark Gender Disparity in UK Film was originally published in Women and Hollywood on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

The actress and fiancé David Gardner made the overseas move a year ago with their brood — daughter Lula Rose, 13 months, and son Sailor Gene, 2½, plus Tyler’s 12-year-old son Milo William and Gardner’s 10-year-old son Gray — and recently opened up to Red magazine for their October cover story about the process.

“I was really ready for a change,” says Tyler, 40. “I will always be a New Yorker, but having a lot of children in that city is hard and the city’s changing.”

Welcome to Career Watch, a vocational checkup of top actors and directors, and those who hope to get there. In this edition we take on Jude Law, who’s always been hard to pin down, and his title role in HBO Emmy Contender “The Young Pope” is no exception.

Bottom Line: As he embraces his mid-40s, Jude Law has morphed from British golden boy to globally bankable character actor. His range is wide, from tragic robot Gigolo Joe in Steven Spielberg’s “A.I.” to Robert Downey, Jr.’s comedy sidekick Dr. Watson in Guy Ritchie’s blockbuster “Sherlock Holmes” franchise. Still stunningly handsome, Law is gaining grit and gravitas as he gets older. But there’s a sense he’s still holding back.

Also on Independent’s slate is The Lemon Grove, the second feature from writer-director Helen Walsh, whose debut The Violators [pictured] played at Edinburgh and Karlovy Vary. Adapted from her own novel, her next film follows a husband and wife who return to the island of Mallorca annually for a summer holiday. One year, the arrival of the wife’s stepdaughter and her new boyfriend threatens to upset their equilibrium. Producers are David Moores, Dave Hughes and Kevin Sampson of Red Union Films.

With so many children from famous families becoming models these days, it’s hard to keep up with them all (trust us!) but there was no missing Iris Law’s latest gig. Yes, that would be Jude Law’s teenage daughter, who just snagged her second Burberry Beauty campaign (and the photos are gorgeous!). And to keep you firmly in the fashion and beauty loop, we rounded up even more killer celeb ad campaigns to get you excited (and strt your shopping).

Burberry Beauty

The 16-year-old daughter of Jude Law and Sadie Frost landed her first Burberry campaign in January,

Kyle Gallner, Alan Ritchson, Billy Zane, and Shaun Toub have joined the cast of “Ghosts of War,” an upcoming psychological thriller. The film follows five American soldiers tasked with guarding a French chateau at the end of World War II. The home was previously occupied by Nazi commanders, and the soldiers soon find that there is a terrifying, supernatural force within its walls.

Raúl Ruiz’s 1980 short film, Snakes And Ladders, follows H as he begins playing a board game where the world around him gradually becomes the board. H comes upon two men playing ludo on a table and as he joins in, the field of play continuously grows, moving from the tabletop to Paris, Europe, the world, and finally all of existence. H’s movement in the game becomes the work of chance governed by the roll of the dice and as he progresses he gradually comes to realize that he is the die, and that he is the game piece being moved about on the map. The cosmic forces controlling H ultimately reach into the frame, emphatically presenting an author surrogate in the form of a hand. Director Paul W.S. Anderson creates filmic board games similar to Snake And Ladders without explicitly revealing his authorial hand. He leaves the author’s presence unstated,

The feature, which will chart the challenging relationship between a teenage daughter, her bed-ridden mother (Morton) and her wayward younger brother, will touch on themes of mental illness, young carers and child abuse.

“So honoured and excited to have become part of the @Burberry family as the new face of Burberry beauty #LiquidLipVelvet,” the 16-year-old beauty proudly wrote alongside one of the campaign snaps on Instagram on Monday.

The impressive gig comes just months after Iris, the daughter of Law and his ex-wife, Sadie Frost, landed a shoot for Teen Vogue as part of the magazine’s “#ForGirlsByGirls” issue.

Previously, she made her modeling debut back in the U.K. for British brand Illustrated People.

Like so many other millennial model kids with famous parents (hello, Gigi and Bella Hadid!), Iris Law – the 16-year-old daughter of Jude Law and his ex-wife Sadie Frost – just landed her first major beauty campaign. The rising model, who stepped out on the fashion scene last year with her debut campaign for the British brand Illustrated People, was just named the first face of Burberry beauty’s Liquid Lip Velvet matte-cream color range.

. Like father (and mother), like daughter. Iris Law—daughter of actors Jude Law and Sadie Frost—just stepped into the international spotlight as the new face of Burberry Beauty. Following the footsteps of Brit models like Cara Delevingne, Jourdan Dunn and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (no pressure at all), the 16-year-old beauty will front Burberry Liquid Lip Velvet ads in her first-ever campaign. "Burberry is such an iconic brand and it's an honour to be part of the Burberry family and to be starring in a global campaign for them," Iris said in a press release. Considering the popularity of the brand's latest lip launch—eight out of 14 shades have...

In one especially adorable scene, Law’s Graham introduces love interest Amanda (Cameron Diaz) not only to his two children (Miffy Englefield and Emma Pritchard), but also to a character that follows him to this day: Mr. Napkin Head.

Acknowledging that the film “runs on repeat” at this time a year, Law tells People he is still “approached on the street about that film. Who knew? I didn’t know at the time, I’m just really happy that it’s something that people still enjoy.”

Jude Law turned a New York Rangers game into a family affair when he was joined by his girlfriend, Phillipa Coan, and his daughter, Iris, in NYC on Sunday. The trio got pretty animated as they watched the hockey team take on the New Jersey Devils at Madison Square Garden. Jude and Phillipa bundled up in dark jackets while his 15-year-old - whom he shares with ex-wife Sadie Frost - avoided the chill by donning a rain coat with the hood over her head. While the couple looked pretty cozy during the event, the 43-year-old actor also shared a few sweet father-daughter moments with Iris as they cheered on the home team. We love seeing Jude's modern family.
